[QUOTE="mmf, post: 174391, member: 4379"] I rebuilt a Starcraft this past spring, utility rebuild and sold it as soon as I finished it (could not resist offer). I used only pool noodles underneath the 3/4" floor. All wood was finished with multiple coats of marine spar varnish and fastener holes were marked and drilled before finish was applied. This lets the finish seep into the penetrations good, if you fail to do this the wood will get wet everywhere you drill a hole and will not last long. The edges of the plywood are most important when applying the sealer too, make sure you seal edges and penetrations as #1 on the list. I also used rustolem clean metal primer tinted at Lowe's for a flat finish coat. You can have it tinted about any color you want. Easy to touch-up and cheap, just keep your formula written down for the tint color. Here's the link to some pics: https://picasaweb.google.com/114764926961602492668/Starcraft2?feat=directlink [/QUOTE]
